Essential Oils
Scent & botanical character
What is Essential Oils?
Concentrated aromatic oils distilled or pressed from flowers, leaves, peels and herbs — such as bergamot, geranium, lavender and sage. They give products their scent and some have antioxidant properties, but they are also a common source of fragrance sensitivity, so people with reactive skin often prefer to avoid them.
In skincare terms, Essential Oils is an ingredient some people find can be sensitising, depending on their skin.
